27. Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels WrestleMania 26
Contrast the last match with this one, which was actually the sequel to the previous years Taker/Michaels match. Even though it was Streak versus HBKs career, the original is still widely regarded as the better of the two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO5guP45itg Still, Michaels and Undertaker delivered a great match deserving of the main event slot, trading near-falls and generally beating the tar out of each other. The end, with Taker reluctant to end Michaels career until HBK slapped UT across the face was beautifully done. It was a fitting match to end Michaels in-ring career and carried on the legacy of the Undertaker for another year.
